The first time I left the United States To Travel was 1985, and I spent the summer in Europe with a girlfriend. We went absolutely all over, but the two places that I will always remember seeing and thinking "this is the most beautiful place I've ever seen!" were Monte Carlo and Grindelwald Switzerland. Stunning! It was fun to go back 30 years later with my husband and sons. We were able to see the F1 racing stuff then! And that view over the sea was still just as stunning!
An early breakfast does wonders for your squashed look. Lolol Ahhh...the Yellow Submarine! So cool. Wow. Definitely a killer view of Monte Carlo! 😍 The changing of the guard is always interesting. Wine bottle cork screw is an Excellent purchase!😊 Lol...that's the first time I've seen a soccer game on the big screen of a ship! Lol...sorry, I meant football..lol Oh wow...that's a really nice Christmas Shop. That fountain is Beautiful. Lol...heat and feet can be a pain. Lol Your Costa Diary Vlogs were Fantastic. Loved all the Amazing areas. Totally Appreciate you guys showing us around! Hope you're having a Wonderful Week!
Thanks so much. We did unsquash as the day went on! Monte Carlo was stunning. We could never afford to live or stay there, but to visit was nice! Yes the atmosphere on board with the football was amazing! A little trip into Rome was an added bonus too. Cheers for watching 🍻
Last day 😫. Up early and ready to make the most of it! Monaco looked exactly how we would imagine it, a millionaires playground indeed, but beautiful all the same. Pete was drooling over those cars!👌. Hahaha, a bit of pomp and er, the humpty dumpuy song at the changing of the guard , love it😂💂♂️. Wow stunning view looking down on Monaco, bet you wish you had your drone with you 😍. Pete's late dad loved the F1, as fans it must have been amazing to walk around the streets and track yourselves 🏁🏎🙌. 6k subscribers, you deserve every one and more guys, congrats 🎉. Back to the ship, last supper, looked delicious though 😋. And what a fun last evening watching the footy, the ship looked so lively, but everyone getting along no matter what your team which was great to see. Perhaps it was the mind controlling music 🤔😂. Ah Dorothy's smile is infectious 😊. Time to disembark, but what a fabulous time you guys have had. A last little adventure to Rome, trevi fountain, pop stops and Christmas shops, perfect! 😊 🎄. Love the hole in the roof of the Pantheon, allowing the light to change through the day, brilliant 👏. And what a gorgeous building. Last pop stop and on your way home, but not without the obligatory postcard delays😫. Never mind, you got there in the end. We are really going to miss these diary vlogs guys, have loved every one. But you know what they say, don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened 😊. Onto the next adventure, whether it is far-flung cruises or back to Welsh Wales, us and your other 5999 subscribers can't wait😊👊👍 Cheers 🍻 Shell and Pete
Ah thanks guys. It seems like a lifetime ago now! Monaco was just insane, especially if you like cars. The amount of people driving around casino square in cars worth more than our house posing, was mental! The football was so funny, everyone was supporting everyone and that English fella was so funny! Rome is a place we'd love to return to, but definitely not mid summer, it's a very hot city! Cheers for watching and have a great weekend! Enjoy your freedom before it's back to work!! 🍻
Not only have you hit a new milestone of 6K...you are well on your way to the next one. Congratulations Rach and Will - well deserved. Monaco was, well Monaco. Opulence, gorgeous architecture, flash cars, lovely fountains and lots of tourists. What a special place that was. Thank you for showing it off so well. Baileys- yesssss! Oh lovely Dorothy. Oooooooh what a long line! Lovely to reacquaint yourselves back at the port. I've been waiting for the Christmas shop. The fountain is mind blowingly beautiful. OMGoodness the Pantheon. Your trip home being delayed..never mind, you got to stay in Rome longer. I htink I would want to take off my shoes and 'walk in the rain' with bare feet. Fantastic holiday. Sounds like you have lots of plans all set to go. Enjoy. Thanks for sharing so generously. Have a great week. 😎🇳🇱🙋♀🥝
Cheers Anita. Monaco is definitely somewhere we will just visit!! It's a whole different world of very very wealthy people! We were so made up with our 6K subs and we can't believe we're over half way to the next milestone already! Rome is stunning and somewhere we want to visit for longer, just not in July and August! It's one hot city! Thanks so much for watching and cheers 🍻
Sounds like the Costa cruise was an all-around great experience. Definitely a solid choice for exploring Europe on a budget. Rocking up in a Kia at Monte Carlo would definitely turn some heads… that's pretty punk rock 🤟There’s something truly special about seeing a place in person that you’ve only watched on TV for years. When England scores, and you’re the only one celebrating… it’s the ultimate test of loyalty and courage! Dorothy sounds like she really took care of you both. It’s the little touches like that which make a trip extra memorable. Spain sounds like the perfect follow-up to this trip. Can’t wait to see what adventures await in the Festa May! Those instagram pics 😳😳
Ah thanks so much. We throughly enjoyed the cruise and would definitely sail with Costa again. Watching the Euro final match was so funny!! I don't think we'll be able to stay in Monte Carlo, but it was a fun visit. Spain has been fantastic. We're looking forward to making the videos already. Cheers 🍻
Two of our favourite places - Monaco and Rome! Great capture of the changing of the guard. Watching the Monaco Grand Prix on telly is so much better once you've actually been there! The casino and harbour are very James Bond. Don't be too sad...you were then off to Rome! Oh dear, you did look hot! 🥵🥵Fabulous footage and fun facts (I love alliteration!) ❤❤
Ah thank you. We could so see you two at Monaco!! You're definitely classier than us! It was a great end to the trip, but what a lovely trip it was. Cheers for watching 🍻
That’s quite the early start but look at those views, well worth it. Everything looks pristine. You found a very reasonable pannini shop! It is Humpty Dumpty! Do recognise those streets and tunnels from F1. That’s a crazy rule about the locals and visitors in Casinos! Yay, well done on the 6K. The Last Supper looked lovely. Viva Espana! Calming music for the football. 😂 well done Dorothy. Yikes that’s a long line. Lovely tour of Rome with beer and pizza. Xmas Shop! Love the hole in the Pantheon roof, genius. What a lovely noise to accompany your Uber McD. 👍
I'm glad you could hear Humpty Dumpty too! It was a really earworm for the day! Monte Carlo was amazing, but it's a visit not a stay place for sure! Rome is incredible and somewhere we do want to visit properly! It just won't be in July or August, it's one hot city!! Cheers for joining us on this adventure. We're back home on Thursday and have sooo much to catch up on. Cheers guys 🍻
It was a real eye opener into how the other half live! The cars were just incredible and as you say, it's spotless!! We loved our visit there. Cheers for watching 🍻
We cruised on Pacifica in November, and it far exceeded our expectations. Loved the tepenyaki, entertainment staff did great job I. Multil languages great value . Overall loved it
This is great to hear! Exactly the same for us. We'd heard so many bad things and we had a really great time. We loved her as a ship, really vintage and quirky. Cheers for watching 🍻
The final chapter - here goes Sprouts for breakfast ! So is it a thing ?? Excursion ahoy - Monaco - Follow the guide past the stuff you want to see.. ever want to just scarper on one of these tours ?? Wow some view !! TH-cam earnings now allocated ! Fab church and can’t get humpty out of heads now !! Thx Casino Royale - Come on Wills !! F1 tunnel very cool ! 6000 subscribers- That apartment getting closer !! Well done guys ! What a fab end to a brilliant week ! Shame about the result ! And as for the conspiracy theory of cruise company mind control music to make you book another cruise - It obviously works ! Train to Rome - Great work ! Trevi fountain and Pantheon are awesome..Just love the Pantheon .. on Si’s bucket list .. now ticked ✅ Airport blues ! But cooler back in Blighty You guys had an amazing time - loved all of these adventures Now book another - The mind control music told you to do this Happy travels guys
Sprouts will never be a thing for breakfast! We don't even like them at Christmas - yep even Wills! As far as cruise ship tours go, this was a better one than Marella and P&O as we felt we had enough time everywhere. Yep Monaco is a very special place. I don't think we'll ever stay there, we'll always be day visitors!! We have yet to book another cruise so I guess the mind music didn't work!! We really want to go back to Rome and spend about 4 days there. We've only ever spent a day at a time there. We'd need to visit on the spring or autumn though as it's a really hot city!!! Cheers for watching 🍻🍻
Monaco & Monte Carlo look absolutely stunning! 😍 Wills, how could you do that to a poor defenceless towel animal!? And there is us spooning ours! 😂 It’s sad to relive the football when we know what happens! 🥲 Boo to the delays! Really loved this series guys, been so enjoyable. Looking forward to the next one! Cheers! 😃
Absolutely Loved watching this Costa diary blog series, it would definitely give us the confidence to book a Costa cruise admittedly we’ve swerved past them when searching previously but no idea why, as we are not the type that believes all the bad reviews. Really glad that you’ve enjoyed it and made these vlogs to show how good it is. It’s a bit like MSC get a bad rap but we absolutely love them and they are great value for money, things are always slightly different on each cruise line and for a value for money cruise this looks great. 👍 the Italians know how to party and looks like there is something going on all day but you are able to escape to quieter spots if you want a bit of calm. 👏
Ah thank you. We were ready for something way way worse, and it was honestly a lovely ship and great staff. It really doesn't deserve the rap it gets. Yes, if you like fine dining and 6 star cruising, then don't go, you won't like it! We had the best time and find Costa do some ports that others don't. Thanks so much for watching and we hope to see you guys on a Costa Cruise 🍻
Ooh, Monaco. Finally somewhere I've been. We parked at some random huge parking building which turned out to be where they housed the F1 cars during the gran prix week. Turns out by pure happenstance we'd arrived at Monte Carlo in Grand Prix week. So were able to take a gander at all the cars as we walked through the car park. It was the day they closed off the streets for the race, but not before I managed to drive a couple of mad laps in our Peugeot 307. Didn't stop at the casino. Too worried about scratching a Lambo if I'd parked out front. It was really cool doing a lap or two. Makes you realise how insane it is to drive on those roads at F1 speeds, as Princess Grace found out. What? Too soon? Never heard of The Rock. But after looking at your pictures it seems we went there too. We drove down the road a bit to Menton and had French Pizzas. French Pizzas are like Italian Pizzas but in France. Actually they're not like Italian pizzas but they are still bloody good. *Gallic shrug* they are only about 5 minutes drive from Italy anyway. Ooh, I do love toasting with a Baileys. Or two. Ooh, Roma. I haven't been there for Yonks. I will always have a soft spot for Rome. It was the first European city we ever visited. Been a couple of times. It was where I began my eternal quest to find a Pope Soap On A Rope. Still no joy. You'd think the Vatican would be on that. Love the Pantheon. There used to be a Maccas across from it and it was nice to city there with quarter pounder and a beer and watch the pick pockets at work. Heat and feet are why we generally save our Euro trips for the winter, although that time we drove through the south of France, see Monaco above, it was late May and it was stinkin' hot. Yep, even hot by Aussie standards. Do not recommend. 2 stars. But I do recommend your video. 5 stars. It has been an outstanding series. Looking forward to Spain.
We do love your comments. We'd have paid to see you drive around the circuit in your Peugeot!! I think we entered that carpark to get in to Monaco! Yep it's the worst Grand Prix of the year, but it's such cool place. Now a pope soap on a rope, yep they've missed the bus with that one. Rome is amazing and we do want to do a city break there - just not in July August! I think we vowed last year never to go back to the Med in July August! Where are we this year? The bloody Med - twice in July August!! We have vowed a Switzerland/austria trip next year!! Cheers for watching and we'll keep our eyes peeled for a pope soap on a rope!! Cheers 🍻
@@PostcardAndAPint Always so enjoy your positivity as it seems here in North America there is so much negativity. Keeps me waiting for the next watch from you two all the time!!
Loved this cruise series! You really made the most of the ports. Monaco was beautiful that would be cool to see a race in the future! Italy….Ive never been, John has for work so it’s on our list. Another great video guys know you’re having a blast in Spain! ~Cara ❤
Ah thanks so much. Monaco was stunning but it will only be somewhere we visit, it really is a place for the very wealthy!! Yep, having a blast in Spain. We've loved down to Salou today to visit my niece. Cheers for watching 🍻
How blimmin' cool to be in the famous tunnel! We'd love to see the vintage grand prix one day. Sigh.... Hilarious to think you were watching the Euros finals in the glorious sunshine while we were in the Scottish drizzle!
It was so cool! I think I was more excited by the tunnel rather than the casino!! Yep, we were surrounded by Spanish and Italians and the sunshine!! Drizzle or sun, they still lost!! Cheers 🍻
I love Monaco with all its over the top opulence, I was amused to see that all the taxis were mercedes. During my backpacking years I stayed in Monaco, it wasn't that expensive to stay in a hotel up by the railway station and as we came in by train it was convenient as well. Never made it into the casino was too intimidated to even walk through the front entrance!
Wow how cool. Just looking at that hotel price made us realise we'll only ever be day trippers! It was cool to see though and we will watch next years f1 race with a new found sense of geography. Cheers for watching 🍻
When are you lads buying your winter house in Monte Carlo? Those officers were moving fast for a changing of the guards. "The Last Supper" 😂 We love the Trevi Fountain!
All good things must come to an end. 6k in the video - you're closer to 7k now! Amazing. Monaco is the playground of the rich but I think (apart from on GP weekend) I'd rather visit Rome - it looked fantastic. Trust Wills to find a christmas shop - does he have a database of them all or just sniff them out!
Monaco was a lovely visit, but we will only ever visit Monaco - we clouldnt afford to stay there and to be honest, yes we'd rather visit Rome too. We really want to do a 4 day break there, but it would need to be in cooler months, it's one hot city. Wills does have an inner built Christmas Shop radar. Funnily it's failing in Spain this week! Not a bauble has he found!!! Cheers for watching and we're so made up with our channel growth at the moment. 🍻
Brussels for breakfast!! I am a sprouts fan but that’s a step too far. Looks a fantastic trip especially for a F1 fan like yourselves! Loved this series and your delight for costa it does get a bit of bad name. Look forward to the Spanish Vlogs! Now wills where did watch the second half?? 🍻
🤣🤣🤣. Yep took Wills most of the second half to get that out!! Cheers guys. Don't get us wrong, if you're a royal or princess fan, you're not going to like Costa we don't think, but we had fun!! Monaco was a new one for both of us and a really good tour. Cheers for watching. Spain coming at ya soon!! 🍻
Thanks for watching. I think we paid about £110 each for the tour. We thoroughly enjoyed it - that was Monaco. Rome wasn't a tour we just did it ourselves. Train to Rome and then put our cases into left luggage and explored a bit on the metro and a lot on foot. Cheers 🍻
We do indeed! It's called the channel tunnel. You can either take the passenger one - the Eurostar, we've done that from London St Pancreas to Brussels, or if you want to take your car, then it's the channel tunnel - Dover to France. It's only 20 miles across to France at the narrowest point. Cheers 🍻
Nope - absolutely nowhere! He has so many of the blasted things !! I keep trying turn some of the really crusty ones into dusters, but they get mysteriously rescued!!! Cheers 🍻
That is the most expensive place to live. I don’t think you can get a small condo there for under 1 million. I too also watch F1 there , but it’s my least favorite track because it’s impossible to pass on those little streets. The pole position usually determines who wins.
Totally agree with you on the race - the cars are too big now for that track and it's usually a boring procession or luck if someone puts it into the wall mid tyre changes!! It's an incredible place to visit but so so so expensive! Cheers for watching 🍻
Monaco & Monte Carlo look absolutely stunning! 😍 Wills, how could you do that to a poor defenceless towel animal!? And there is us spooning ours! 😂 It’s sad to relive the football when we know what happens! 🥲 Boo to the delays! Really loved this series guys, been so enjoyable. Looking forward to the next one! Cheers! 😃
Cheers guys! Wills always does that to a towel animal!! We hope you've enjoyed your cruise. Can't wait to see the vids. We enjoyed Costa. I doubt it's everyone cup of tea, but it worked for us! Cheers 🍻
The first time I left the United States To Travel was 1985, and I spent the summer in Europe with a girlfriend. We went absolutely all over, but the two places that I will always remember seeing and thinking "this is the most beautiful place I've ever seen!" were Monte Carlo and Grindelwald Switzerland.

Wow sounds like quite the trip! Grindelwald is up there on our to visit list and we're well jealous you got to see Monaco on f1 weekend!! Cheers 🍻
An early breakfast does wonders for your squashed look. Lolol
Ahhh...the Yellow Submarine!
So cool.
Wow. Definitely a killer view of Monte Carlo! 😍
The changing of the guard is always interesting.
Wine bottle cork screw is an Excellent purchase!😊
Lol...that's the first time I've seen a soccer game on the big screen of a ship! Lol...sorry, I meant football..lol
Oh wow...that's a really nice Christmas Shop.
That fountain is Beautiful.

The bloody Med - twice in July August!! We have vowed a Switzerland/austria trip next year!! Cheers for watching and we'll keep our eyes peeled for a pope soap on a rope!! Cheers 🍻
One amazing experience! I am sure you have changed many minds in regards to Costa! Marvelous!!
Thank you. I hope so as they don't deserve the bad press they get. Cheers for watching 🍻
@@PostcardAndAPint Always so enjoy your positivity as it seems here in North America there is so much negativity. Keeps me waiting for the next watch from you two all the time!!
Great sharing and helpful information thanks for the tour
Thanks for watching 🍻
Loved this cruise series! You really made the most of the ports. Monaco was beautiful that would be cool to see a race in the future! Italy….Ive never been, John has for work so it’s on our list. Another great video guys know you’re having a blast in Spain! ~Cara ❤
Ah thanks so much. Monaco was stunning but it will only be somewhere we visit, it really is a place for the very wealthy!! Yep, having a blast in Spain. We've loved down to Salou today to visit my niece. Cheers for watching 🍻
Beautiful Trevi fountain! I haven't seen it in person yet, but we do have a much smaller version in Cheltenham which was inspired by the original ❤
Well we didn't know that! We'll have to check that out. 🍻
@@PostcardAndAPint yes, come visit us next year!
How blimmin' cool to be in the famous tunnel! We'd love to see the vintage grand prix one day. Sigh....
Hilarious to think you were watching the Euros finals in the glorious sunshine while we were in the Scottish drizzle!
It was so cool! I think I was more excited by the tunnel rather than the casino!! Yep, we were surrounded by Spanish and Italians and the sunshine!! Drizzle or sun, they still lost!! Cheers 🍻
Glad you had another fantastic cruise 😊
Thank you so much. It was brilliant. A totally different experience to Marella and P&O, but we think a cruise is what you make it!! Cheers 🍻
@@PostcardAndAPint yes it did look different
I love Monaco with all its over the top opulence, I was amused to see that all the taxis were mercedes. During my backpacking years I stayed in Monaco, it wasn't that expensive to stay in a hotel up by the railway station and as we came in by train it was convenient as well. Never made it into the casino was too intimidated to even walk through the front entrance!
Wow how cool. Just looking at that hotel price made us realise we'll only ever be day trippers! It was cool to see though and we will watch next years f1 race with a new found sense of geography. Cheers for watching 🍻
When are you lads buying your winter house in Monte Carlo? Those officers were moving fast for a changing of the guards. "The Last Supper" 😂 We love the Trevi Fountain!
Mmmm probably never! I don't think we'll ever have that sort of money!! We love the Trevi fountain too - and the last supper!!! Cheers for watching 🍻

Love Monaco...last time we went we was watching the royal wedding ... 😃
We loved our day there. How the other half live! Sounds like you had a very special visit there. Cheers for watching 🍻
Great video guys 😊
Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed it 🍻
Thanks!
Ah Ken, thank you so much, that is incredibly kind of you. Cheers 🍻 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
Great video my friends, always LOVE your energy ❤ Warm wishes from Millionaire Paul 👋
Thanks for watching Paul. 🍻
Love your videos - Just subscribed the channel!
Thank you so much and welcome to the channel. 🍻
All good things must come to an end. 6k in the video - you're closer to 7k now! Amazing. Monaco is the playground of the rich but I think (apart from on GP weekend) I'd rather visit Rome - it looked fantastic. Trust Wills to find a christmas shop - does he have a database of them all or just sniff them out!
Monaco was a lovely visit, but we will only ever visit Monaco - we clouldnt afford to stay there and to be honest, yes we'd rather visit Rome too. We really want to do a 4 day break there, but it would need to be in cooler months, it's one hot city. Wills does have an inner built Christmas Shop radar. Funnily it's failing in Spain this week! Not a bauble has he found!!! Cheers for watching and we're so made up with our channel growth at the moment. 🍻
@@PostcardAndAPint No doubt we'll find out where you are in Spain very soon. We're off to Ibiza in a few weeks, I can't wait.
breakfast nice great start before touring off ship in Monaco then Rome much to see along the way too
*🥸Au💯full watch always👀👍like👍*
Thanks Billy, it was a wonderful cruise and we loved every port we visited. Cheers 🍻
Brussels for breakfast!! I am a sprouts fan but that’s a step too far.
Looks a fantastic trip especially for a F1 fan like yourselves!
Loved this series and your delight for costa it does get a bit of bad name. Look forward to the Spanish Vlogs!
Now wills where did watch the second half??
🍻
🤣🤣🤣. Yep took Wills most of the second half to get that out!! Cheers guys. Don't get us wrong, if you're a royal or princess fan, you're not going to like Costa we don't think, but we had fun!! Monaco was a new one for both of us and a really good tour. Cheers for watching. Spain coming at ya soon!! 🍻
Wow what a great vedio new friend
Thank you so much and welcome to the channel. 🍻
Another great vlog. Well done. Really enjoyed all of your reviews. As a smoker, is there many area's where you can have a smoke on the ship?
Thank you so much. Do you know, we didn't really notice. I think you could smoke on most outside deck spaces, but don't hold us to that!! Cheers 🍻
Cheers friends! I think I’m first ~Cara 🍺
Cheers Cara and yes you're first! 🍻
great video thanks for help. how much did you pay for monaco and roma's tour. Thank you
Thanks for watching. I think we paid about £110 each for the tour. We thoroughly enjoyed it - that was Monaco. Rome wasn't a tour we just did it ourselves. Train to Rome and then put our cases into left luggage and explored a bit on the metro and a lot on foot. Cheers 🍻
How much was the wine opener Wills?
I think about 30 euros!! We've brought it to Spain as our honourary opener!!!! 🍻
I’m not very knowledgeable on this subject, but do you guys take that train from France to England that goes under the water?
We do indeed! It's called the channel tunnel. You can either take the passenger one - the Eurostar, we've done that from London St Pancreas to Brussels, or if you want to take your car, then it's the channel tunnel - Dover to France. It's only 20 miles across to France at the narrowest point. Cheers 🍻
Does Wills go anywhere without an Iron Maiden t-shirt??? 🤣😂
Nope - absolutely nowhere! He has so many of the blasted things !! I keep trying turn some of the really crusty ones into dusters, but they get mysteriously rescued!!! Cheers 🍻
That is the most expensive place to live. I don’t think you can get a small condo there for under 1 million. I too also watch F1 there , but it’s my least favorite track because it’s impossible to pass on those little streets. The pole position usually determines who wins.
Totally agree with you on the race - the cars are too big now for that track and it's usually a boring procession or luck if someone puts it into the wall mid tyre changes!! It's an incredible place to visit but so so so expensive! Cheers for watching 🍻
By the time Wills got out the equalizer score, England lost.
Yep!! It all started so well!!
Monaco & Monte Carlo look absolutely stunning! 😍 Wills, how could you do that to a poor defenceless towel animal!? And there is us spooning ours! 😂 It’s sad to relive the football when we know what happens! 🥲 Boo to the delays! Really loved this series guys, been so enjoyable. Looking forward to the next one! Cheers! 😃
Cheers guys! Wills always does that to a towel animal!! We hope you've enjoyed your cruise. Can't wait to see the vids. We enjoyed Costa. I doubt it's everyone cup of tea, but it worked for us! Cheers 🍻
